Today we’d like to introduce you to Tiffany Miller.
Tiffany, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
“If you choose a job you love, you will never work a day in your life”. This quote opened my eyes to my passion of hair about three years ago. What began as a hobby, surprisingly has taken over my life.
I was born and raised in Blakely, Georgia on the Miller Farm where my dad is a local third-generation farmer. As a little girl, I remember watching my grandma press my cousin and sister’s hair in her kitchen. I was so intrigued by the experience that I became increasingly eager to learn more about all things hair. As I grew older, my love for hair and this profession grew stronger and stronger. After moving to Columbus, GA in the fall of 2005, I decided to pursue a career in accounting. After four years of study, I received my Bachelor of Accounting and a year and a half later a Master of Business Administration. While attempting to be fully focused on my accounting career, my mind continued to wonder how life would be in the beauty industry. Needless to say, in November of 2015, I decided to quit my job as an accounting instructor at a local community college to pursue my dreams of breaking into the beauty industry by attending the Aveda Institute, a cosmetology and esthetician school in Atlanta, Georgia.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Wow, where do I start? It definitely has not been a smooth road and I have encountered MULTIPLE struggles along the way. The bumpy road began at the start of my journey when I was faced with the option of leaving my corporate full-time job in order to my follow my dreams – something a lot of people would never do because of the unknowns of life. However, after much thought and prayer, I made the hardest decision of my life (which later became the best decision of my life) and quit my job to follow my heart and passion.
For nearly two years after my decision, I was faced with traveling almost two hours three days a week to the Aveda Institute in Atlanta, Georgia while working part-time Monday through Wednesday at a local salon and community college to make ends meet. Of course, I was extremely tired on several occasions and was faced with losing one of my part-time jobs and car troubles, however, I knew that this sacrifice would pay off and happiness would be the end result. It wasn’t easy, but with the support and encouragement of friends and family, I never gave up and I graduated in November 2016 as a licensed master cosmetologist.
But wait, there’s always a silver lining! While at Aveda, I found inspiration and motivation, and I decided to create my own organic hair care line called PURE. After studying and using multiple types of products, I decided that I wanted to create one product line that was capable of restoring, rebuilding and regrowing tresses. I worked countless hours and days to create the perfect 6 part (now 8) hair care product line. This was definitely one of the highlights of my life, and one week after graduation, I launched the PURE product line. Life as a stylist began and life with PURE, perfect hair became alive.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about PURE by Her Glory – what should we know?
I am the founder and CEO of PURE, an eight-part hair care system that is infused with seaweed, sea algae, sea kelp, cucumber, avocado, vitamins, proteins, and essential oils. PURE is perfect for the restoration, regrowth, and rebuilding of tresses and eases the process of manageability and maintenance. The system includes shampoos, conditioners, deep conditioning treatments, serums, and more. PURE has become the company known for organic, all natural products with packaging that is ideal for everyday use as well as travel.
As a company, the moment we are most proud of is the debut of PURE at the Bronner Brothers International Beauty Show last fall in Atlanta, Georgia. At this event, PURE was used in live demonstrations on multiple days. PURE has helped thousands of individuals create perfect at home hair and continues to provide customers with a perfect hair care system for hair of all textures and lengths.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
The characteristics I feel that are most important for success are self-drive, patience, determination, and FAITH.
